Days/ 2 Nights Ruaha
National Park Tanzania Flying Safari from Dar-es-Salaam
offers
a great introduction to Southern Tanzania. Ruaha
National Park is a remote bastion of spectacular wilderness,
undisturbed wildlife, and breathtaking scenery. For
the intrepid bush lover and the avid safari explorer,
a trip to Ruaha is uniquely rewarding.
The
park is rich of plants and animals such as Greater
Kudu which can not be found in any other national
park. The park boasts of her almost untouched and
unexplored ecosystem, making visitors’ safari
experience very unique.
The
Great Ruaha River as other rivers like Mwagusi, Jongomero
and Mzombe save as the life line of the park. During
dry season, these rivers become mostly the main source
of water for wildlife. There are few natural springs
saving the same purpose.
In
the pick of dry season, elephants obtain water from
dry sand rivers using their front feet and trunks.
The remaining water falls along the Great Ruaha River
are also important habitat for hippopotamus, fish
and crocodiles.
Ruaha
is believed to have high concentration of elephants
than any national park in East Africa. It is also
a place where, magnificent mammals like Kudu (both
Greater and Lesser), Sable and Roan antelopes can
easily be spotted in Miombo woodland.
The
male Kudu have beautiful spiraled horns while male
Sable antelope have impressive curved horns. The park
is also a habitat for endangered wild dogs. Other
animals in the park include lions, leopards, cheetah,
giraffes, zebras, elands, impala, bat eared foxes
and Jackals.
